The lighting of a fire
Fund a week of quality education for a girl in Congo! 🎓
Education for girls in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is in crisis. With limited governmental support, inadequate facilities, and high poverty levels, the odds are stacked against young women seeking an education. Lycée Liziba, however, is standing against the odds in this challenging landscape. Your contribution will cover one week of education for a girl at this remarkable school. From quality classroom instruction to mentorship and personal development, each girl is empowered to dream big and aim high. Lycée Liziba engages not only with the students but also with their families, creating a nurturing environment that values and supports female education.
In a nation where over half the female population has no formal schooling and the female literacy rate is just 66%, every week of education helps. Since its inception in 2015, Lycée Liziba has directly impacted the lives of 1,584 women and girls. Each week of schooling that you fund serves as a stepping stone, not only enhancing academic skills but also boosting self-confidence and opening doors to opportunities that these girls never thought possible.
Don't underestimate the power of a week. Seven days at Lycée Liziba can spark a lifetime of change, lighting up the path from vulnerability to empowerment. Fund a week of high-quality education for a girl in Congo and be part of her journey towards a brighter future. 🌟📚
